"Losing four matches in a row is obviously disappointing and we need to get home and sort things out.

"We had a number of young players in our matchday 23 and I hope they have gained from the experience of playing in Argentina."

Reds made seven changes from the starting line-up that lost at the Lions last weekend with injured skipper and prop James Slipper and suspended flyhalf Quade Cooper among those missing.

It does not get any easier for the Australians next weekend as they host the defending champions, Hurricanes of New Zealand.

The Argentines built a 12-point advantage through two tries, one of which flyhalf Juan Martin Hernández converted, before he and Jake McIntyre slotted penalties and the hosts led 15-3 at half-time.

Centre Jeronimo de la Fuente scored his second try of the match, which Hernández converted, to stretch the advantage to 19 points before Reds No.8 Scott Higginbotham dived over in the corner.

The Jaguares have a bye next weekend.

Man of the match: Karmichael Hunt, Samu Kerevi and Eto Nabuli had some decent runs, while Kane Douglas was the Reds' most productive forward. Jeronimo de la Fuente scored the tries and Juan Martin Hernández kicked brilliantly, but the puppet master that pulled the strings was Jaguares scrumhalf Gonzalo Bertranou. He is our man of the match.
